F. Detailed warranty conditions are listed on a service card. Supervision over metrological parameters Metrological parameters of a balance need to be checked by a user in determined time intervals. Inspection frequency is conditioned by ambient conditions in which a balance is used, kind of carried out processes and adopted quality management system. User manual significance It is very important to read the user manual carefully before switching on and starting up balance operation, even if the user is experienced and has worked with this type of balance before. Balance user training The balance should be utilized and supervised only by users who are trained and experienced in such type of weighing instruments

9 2. UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION 2.1. AS X2 series balance Take the balance out of the packaging carefully. Remove all plastic and cardboard protective covers, next remove the transport lock. Gently put the balance onto its workplace. Following the diagram instruction, install the weighing pan and other components. Balance with d=0.01/0.1 mg Balance with d=0.1 mg open side panes of the weighing chamber, remove the transport lock (1) gently press the transport lock and turn it accordingly to <OPEN> instruction, next remove the lock; please, retain the transport lock should the device be transported in the future, install a bottom weighing chamber insert (2), install a centring ring [embossment side turned up] (3), install a weighing pan (4), install a draft shield (5), close side panes of the weighing chamber, connect the balance to the mains, the power adapter shall be connected to a port located at the back of the housing. AS series balance with transport lock installed

10 2.2. PS X2 series balances Cut the adhesive tape. Take the balance out of the packaging carefully. Remove all plastic and cardboard protective covers, next remove the transport lock. Gently put the balance onto its workplace. Following the diagram instruction, install the weighing pan and other components. Installation of components for balance with readability of 10 mg: - remove tape protecting the grounding spring located on one of the rubber mandrels (1), - install the weighing pan (2) onto the rubber mandrels (1), - after assembling the balance components, check whether the weighing pan is firmly placed on the rubber mandrels. Installation of components for balance with readability of 1mg: - remove tape protecting the grounding spring located on one of the rubber mandrels (1), - install the weighing pan (2) onto the rubber mandrels (1), - install the glass draft shield - (3) - after assembling the balance components, check whether the weighing pan is firmly placed on the rubber mandrels

11 2.3. APP X2 series balances Remove the adhesive tape. Carefully remove the balance from its packaging. Remove all the elements necessary for correct operation from the accessory box. APP 10.X2 balances are equipped with 2 weighing pans which can be used in turns. It must be remembered that balance activation is only possible with one weighing pan assembled at a time. Attempt of activating the balance with two weighing pans assembled simultaneously will result in display of an error. In such case one of the pans needs to removed. Carefully take the balance out of the packaging, remove transport protective elements and gently place the balance onto its workplace. Remove the weighing pan and remove transport protective elements as shown in the picture above (if these elements are attached). After the unpacking of the balance unscrew the bolt (1) which blocks the calibration mechanism. Assemble the weighing pan (for APP 10.X2, one of the pans only). Make sure the weighing pan is placed properly on the shock absorbers: the weighing pan cannot touch the housing and should be stable. Place the balance at the workplace. Levell the balance (see the instruction below). Using the wrench (3), after adjusting the balance level (see below); tighten the bolt (2) on the foot (1) to the balance s footing until the point of resistance. Repeat the activity for each foot of the balance. After removing the protective elements of the weighing pan and after unblocking the internal calibration mechanism. Next, plug in all the additional devices. Only then can the balance be connected to mains (the power port is located at the back of the balance s housing)

12 2.4. Cleaning instruction 1. Disassembly the weighing pan and other portable parts (the parts differ depending on a balance type see Unpacking and installation section). Be careful while disassembling the balance so as not to cause any damages to the balance mechanism. 2. Using handheld vacuum cleaner remove dust from the weighing chamber. 3. Glass parts should be cleaned using a dry flannel cloth (mild cleanser may be used if it does not contain any abrasive substances) for draft shield disassembly instruction go to the next section of this manual 4. Use a dry flannel cloth in order to clean disassembled parts (mild cleanser may be used if it does not contain any abrasive substances) CAUTION: Cleaning of the weighing pan when assembled may cause damage of the measuring system of the balance. Hence, it is crucial to remove it from the balance before cleaning. In order to clean the glass draft shield panes, it is permissible to remove the walls of the draft shield following the below instruction. AS X2 series balances 1. Twist off and remove the top pane safety frame, next slide it out of the slideway

13 2. Remove the back pane. 3. Remove the side panes. Side panes shall not be swapped therefore it is necessary to remember which one is right, and which one is left in order to install them back properly in the draft shield. CAUTION: do not remove the front pane. 4. Remove the weighing pan, draft shield and bottom insert, so as not to damage the balance mechanism during the cleaning

14 Thus prepared draft shield and panes can be properly cleaned. All the operations should be done carefully. Pay special CAUTION to the place where the weighing pan was installed: dirt and other small elements might enter the balance construction through this opening, which might negatively influence the balance parameters. Upon completion of the cleaning process reassembly the balance. To do it repeat steps 1-5 in a reverse order. Be especially careful while assembling side panes, they must take the right place. While sliding the panes back onto its place remember to pull the protection (like before when dismantling the draft shield) Plugging to the mains Balance can be connected to the mains only with a power adapter that comes standard with the balance. Nominal power supply of the power adapter (specified on the data plate of the power adapter) should be compatible to the power from the mains. Plug the balance to the mains connect the power adapter to the socket, next connect its connector to port located at the back of the balance housing. The test of the display unit takes place after connecting to the power (all the elements and pictograms are backlit for a short time). Next, the name and the program number appears consequently, the indication will reach ZERO level (with reading unit depending on the balance). During the process of starting the balance, the test of the internal mass adjustment mechanism occurs (single location and elevation of the internal mass adjustment). If the indication is different than zero, please press button. CAUTION: If the balance is verified, automatic adjustment occurs right after switching the balance on Connecting peripheral equipment Use only accessories and peripheral equipment recommended by the manufacturer of your balance. The balance must be disconnected from the mains before connecting or disconnecting any peripherals (printer, PC computer, computer keyboard).

Units list: Unit Denotation Verified balance gram [g] yes milligram [mg] yes * kilogram [kg] yes * carat [ct] yes * pound [lb] no ounce [oz] no ounce Troy [ozt] no pennyweight [dwt] no Taele Hongkong [tlh] no Taele Singapore [tls] no Taele Taiwan [tlt] no Taele China [tlc] no Momme [mom] no Grain [gr] no Newton [N] no Tical [ti] no baht [baht] no tola [tola] no

45 mesghal [msg] no * - Accessibility of measuring units is conditioned by balance type Good weighing practice In order to ensure long lasting use of a balance plus correct and reliable measurement of weighed loads, follow below procedures: Start the balance with no load on the weighing pan (permissible value of load on the weighing pan on balance start is ±10% of its maximal capacity). Load the weighing pan steadily avoiding shocks: YES NO Place weighed loads centrally on the weighing pan: YES NO Avoid side loading, in particular side shocks: NO NO Balance levelling Before plugging to the mains, level the balance by turning its adjustable feet in a way that the air bubble of the level is in a central ring. The balance should be placed at the workplace firmly on all of its feet

46 10.4. Balance zeroing Zeroing is a function allowing to zero mass indication. In order to zero mass indication, press button. Mass indication of zero value shall be displayed together with precise zero and stability markers. Zeroing process is an equivalent for determining new zero point, recognized by the balance as precise zero. Zeroing is possible only for stable status of display indication. CAUTION: Zeroing the display indication is possible only within the ±2% range of instrument s maximal capacity. If the zeroed value is above the ±2% of the maximal capacity, then the software indicates an error message Err Balance tarring Tarring is a function allowing to determine net weight of a measured object. In order to determine net weight of the object, place object s container (packaging) on the weighing pan, and on stabilization of measurement result press key. The display should indicate mass equal to zero and symbols: Net and. On taking off the weighed load and its packaging from instrument s weighing pan, the display indicates sum of total tarred mass with minus sign. The software also enables assigning tare value to a product from a database. Then, on product selection from a database, the software automatically uploads data on tare value for the specific product. CAUTION: Tarring negative values is impossible. On tarring negative values the balance responds with an error message. In such case zero balance indication and repeat tarring procedure. Manual tare determination Procedure: While in optional mode press quick access key, An on-screen numeric keyboard is displayed, Enter tare value and press key, The balance returns to the weighing mode, and the display indicates entered tare value with minus sign

47 Deleting tare The tare value indicated on balance display can be deleted by pressing key on balance overlay, or by using programmable function key <Deactivate tare>. PROCEDURE 1 - on taking the tarred load off the weighing pan Press key. The NET marker is deleted, and new zero point of the balance is determined. PROCEDURE 2 with tarred load on the weighing pan Press key. The NET marker is deleted, and new zero point of the balance is determined. When tare value exceeds 2% of the maximum capacity, respective message is displayed in order to inform a user about the fact. Selecting tare value out of TARE DATABSE Procedure: While in optional mode, press key located in a top left hand corner of the mass display. or When a respective window opens, select option <PACKAGING>. Window with list of tare values recorded into tare database is displayed. Select the packaging that is to be used. The balance returns to the weighing mode, and the display indicates selected tare value with minus sign. While in optional mode, press key (if displayed on the screen), Window with list of tare values recorded into tare database is displayed. Select the packaging that is to be used. The balance returns to the weighing mode, and the display indicates selected tare value with minus sign. AUTOTARE Autotare function provides automatic tarring of the packaging during the weighing process when packaging mass for each of the product is different. Description of this function is to be found further down this manual. Deleting tare Entered tare value can be deleted by pressing key on the overlay or by entering tare value of 0.000g (see description above)

48 10.6. WEIGHING mode settings The software allows setup of operating parameters (filters, value release and autozero option, deleting the last digit and other settings) separately for each working mode. It enables customizing the instrument and utilizing its properties depending on the user s needs and expectations, or on specific requirements for selected working mode (e.g. DOSING); as a result the device operation is quick and easy. Settings: READOUT FILTER [VERY FAST / FAST / AVERAGE / SLOW / VERY SLOW] VALUE RELEASE [RELIABLE / FAST / FAST + RELIABLE] AUTOZERO [YES / NO] LAST DIGIT [ALWAYS / NEVER / WHEN STABLE] AMBIENT CONDITIONS [STABLE / UNSTABLE] PROXIMITY SENSORS [LEFT SENSOR/RIGHT SENSOR] LEFT SENSOR [NONE/PRINT/ ] RIGHT SENSOR [NONE/PRINT/ ] AUTOTARE [YES / NO] PRINTOUT MODE [EACH / WHEN STABLE / AUTO] AUTO THRESHOLD

49 Filter level setting Filter settings adjustment depends on the working environment. For the best possible conditions the filter can work in a very fast mode (V.FAST value for Filter parameter); however, if the conditions are bad (shakes, drafts), the filter should be set to slow or very slow option (SLOW or V. SLOW value for Filter parameter). The effectiveness of the filter is different throughout the weighing range. The filter works slower when approaching the weighed mass, it works more intensively for weighed mass within the set range of the filter (parameter for setting filter range is accessible only from the service menu the user does not have any access to it). Depending on the filter, the weighing time is shorter (V.FAST and FAST) or longer (SLOW and V. SLOW). CAUTION: The higher filter level, the longer weighing time Value release Since ambient conditions at a workplace vary, it is necessary to determine the value release parameter in a most preferable way enabling balance adaptation, parameter options are: FAST.+REL., FAST or RELIABLE. Depending on selected option, weighing time is either shorter or longer Autozero function The software features autozero function (Auto) ensuring precise mass indication. This function automatically controls and corrects zero indication. When Autozero is enabled, it compares balance indications at declared time interval e.g. 1s, providing that weighing pan is unloaded and display indication is close to zero. If results vary less than declared AUTOZERO range e.g. one division, balance zeros automatically, marker of stable measurement result and precise zero marker are displayed. If AUTOZERO function is enabled, then each weighing process starts from precise zero point. There are, however, some cases when this function can be a disturbing factor for the measuring process; e.g. very slow placing of load on the weighing pan (load adding). Here, zero indication correction can also correct actual indication of loaded mass

50 Displaying the last digit Function enables displaying last digit of decimal place for a weighing result. There are three available options: Always: all digits visible Never: last digit is not displayed When stable: last digit is displayed only for a stable weighing result Balance ambient conditions This parameter relates to ambient and environmental conditions in which the balance operates. There are two options: STABLE and UNSTABLE. Selecting STABLE mode makes the balance work much faster, i.e. weighing takes much less time than for UNSBABLE mode. If the ambient conditions are unstable it is recommended to use UNSTABLE mode. By default the parameter is set to STABLE option PROXIMITY SENSORS The balance features two proximity sensors enabling touch-free balance control.

To provide correct operation, it is necessary to set the right proximity sensors sensitivity (see instruction of point 13) AUTOTARE Autotare is used for quick determination of net weight for loads with different tare values, wherein they are measured one after another. When function is active (<AUTOTARE> parameter set to <YES> option), the operating process takes the following steps: Make sure that the weighing pan is empty and press button responsible for zeroing, Put product packaging on a weighing pan, After measurement stabilization, automatic tarring of the packaging mass will proceed (Net marker appears in the upper part of the display), Put product that is to be packed on the packaging; The display shows a net weight of the product; Take off the product together with the packaging; The balance cancels tare value (packaging weight recorded in balance storage during the first step of the operating process) after the gross mass value (set in <AUTO THRES> parameter) has been exceeded; the entered tare value is cancelled automatically (Net marker disappears from the top section of the display), net weight is displayed; Put packaging of a next product on a weighing pan, after measurement stabilization automatic tarring of the packaging weight proceeds (Net marker appears in the top section of the display); Put a next product that is to be packed. For correct operation of the balance with AUTOTARE function it is necessary to adjust the threshold value. <AUTO THRES> parameter is connected with the following functions: - automatic tare, - automatic operation, No automatic tarring takes place until the balance operates within the gross mass value range set in <AUTO THRES> parameter

53 10.9. PRINTING MODE This function enables setting the printing mode, it activates key. A user has a possibility of selecting the following options: for <WHEN STAB> option, the stable measurement result, along with the settings for parameter <GLP PRINTOUT>, is sent to the printer port. On pressing key, when the result is not stable (no sign on a display), the balance software will send the measurement result to the port after reaching stability for the measurement. for <EACH> option, every single pressing of key, results in sending the measurement indication to the printer port along with the settings for parameter <GLP PRINTOUT>. Every single indication is sent (stable and unstable). The <?> sign appears at the beginning of the printing frame when the indication is unstable. This function applies to non-verified balances exclusively. <AUTO> - select this option to enable automatic printing of measurements. If this option has been selected, remember to set <AUTO THRES> parameter to suit your needs. Automatic operation procedure: Press button to zero the balance (marker of stable measurement and zero marker are shown on a display) Deposit load, the balance sends the first stable measurement to the printer port, Remove the load from the pan, Next measurement is possible when the indication is lower than the set value of <AUTO THRES.> parameter (next measurement does not require zero value). For automatic working mode adjust the threshold value. <AUTO THRES> parameter is connected with the following functions: - automatic tare, - automatic operation, For automatic operation, the measurement will not be send from the computer to the printer as long as the mass measurement stays within the set value range <AUTO THRES> Dual range balances and weighing (refers to PS 200/2000.X2 series balances) PS 200/2000.X2 balance is a dual range weighing device with readability for I weighing range d 1 = 0.001g, and d 2 = 0.01g for II weighing range

54 Transition from weighing with accuracy of the I weighing range to weighing with accuracy of the II weighing range takes place automatically on exceeding Max1 200g (without operator s interference). On entering the accuracy of the II weighing range, the display indicates II pictogram on its right side, and additional last digit marker. From now on the balance continues weighing in the II weighing range. In order to return to weighing with accuracy of the I weighing range follow the below instruction: take the load off the weighing pan, as the indication returns to zero and when symbols 0 and are displayed, press key. The balance returns to weighing with readability d 1 =0.001g and the II weighing range symbol, along with marker displayed over last but one digit, is blanked

61 13. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE In order to ensure the highest weighing accuracy, it is recommended to periodically introduce a corrective factor of indications to balance memory, the said factor must be referred to a mass standard. In other words, balance adjustment shall be performed from time to time. Adjustment should be carried out: - Before the beginning of weighing procedure, - If long breaks between following measuring series occur, - If temperature inside the balance changes more than: 0.8 C for AS series balances or 3 C for PS series balances. Types of adjustment: - Internal automatic adjustment * triggered by balance inside temperature change * triggered by elapsing time - Manual internal adjustment * initiated by pressing key - Adjustment with an external weight * of declared mass which cannot be modified * of any mass, but not lower than 30% of maximum range. CAUTION: In case of verified balances (with internal automatic adjustment system) only the automatic internal adjustment and manual internal adjustment system are available for a user. Remember to carry out the adjustment process when there is no load on the pan! In case there is load on the weighing pan, the display will indicate a command <RANGE EXCEEDED>. In such a case the load should be removed from the weighing pan and the process of the adjustment should be finished. Adjustment process can be aborted if necessary by pressing at any time during the process Internal adjustment Internal adjustment is carried out by means of an internal adjustment weight. <Internal adjustment> key, when pressed, automatically triggers adjustment process. Upon adjustment process completion respective message, informing about process end and about its status, is displayed. CAUTION: Adjustment procedure requires stable environmental conditions (no air drafts or ground vibrations). The process must be carried out with empty weighing pan

62 13.2. External adjustment External adjustment is carried out by means of an external mass standard of specified accuracy class and weight. Both, accuracy class and mass standard weight depend on balance type and max capacity. The process takes semiautomatic form, successive stages are signalled with prompts. CAUTION: External adjustment is possible for balances that are not a subject to conformity assessment (verification). Process stages: Enter <Adjustment> submenu, next select option: External adjustment, Balance display indicates the following prompt: Remove load from the weighing pan, Press key. Balance determines start mass, message: Adjustment; Please wait is displayed, Upon completed start mass determination procedure, the balance displays the following message: Put specified weigh on a pan and press key,

WORKING MODES general information Standard version of X2 series balances features the following working modes: Weighing Means of operation: weight of a load is determined through an indirect measurement. A balance measures gravitational force which attracts the load. An obtained result is processed to a digital format and displayed in a form of measurement result. Parts Counting Means of operation: based on a determined mass of a single part it is possible to count another parts, assuming that mass of a single part is determined with sufficient accuracy, and that the following parts are equal in mass. Checkweighing Means of operation: control of sample mass with applied thresholds. A user should specify the value of min threshold <LO> and max threshold <HI>. Dosing Means of operation: a user should specify sample s target mass to be obtained by pouring. Percent Weighing Means of operation: control of percent ratio of a sample in relation to a standard (reference). Obtained data provides percent ratio on how test sample differs from the accepted standard (reference). Density of solids Means of operation: based on Archimedes principle, a balance determines density of solids. The mode requires an optional density determination kit. Density of liquids Means of operation: based on Archimedes principle, a balance determines density of liquids. The mode requires an optional density determination kit. Animal Weighing Means of operation: mass measurement takes place with application of filters dampening animal moves on a weighing pan, thus enabling obtaining a correct measurement result. Statistics Means of operation: carried out measurements are used to calculate statistical data, such as Min, Max, deviation, etc. Peak Hold Means of operation: max temporary indication occurring in course of the weighing process is hold on a display

132 28. COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL General information A. A character based communication protocol balance-terminal is designed for establishing communication between a RADWAG balance and a peripheral device via RS-232C serial interface. B. It consists of commands sent from a peripheral device to the balance and responses from the balance. C. Responses are sent from the balance on each receipt of a command as a reaction to a specific command. D. Commands, forming the communication protocol, enable both, obtaining data on balance status and influencing balance operation, e.g.: acquiring measurement results from the balance, zeroing, etc List of commands Command Z T OT UT S SI SU SUI C1 C0 CU1 CU0 DH UH ODH OUH SM TV RM NB Command overview Zero balance Tare balance Give tare value Set tare Send stable measurement result in basic measuring unit Immediately send measurement result in basic measuring unit Send stable measuring result in current measuring unit Immediately send measurement result in current measuring unit Switch on continuous transmission in basic measuring unit Switch off continuous transmission in basic measuring unit Switch on continuous transmission in current measuring unit Switch off continuous transmission in current measuring unit Set min checkweighing threshold Set max checkweighing threshold Give value of min checkweighing threshold Give value of max checkweighing threshold Set mass value of a single item Set target mass value Set reference mass value Give balance serial number
